Subject:   reboot - freeze (an old 386)

One of my machine (the dialin machine), an old 386-25 (AMI Bios, Cache
something), has had ever since I was running BSD (maybe not on a very
early 386bsd-0.0), the nasty habit that it does not come back when I
say sync ; reboot.

It does the syncing, blanks the screen and comes back with the AMI banner
message but then hangs ad infinitum until I personally press the RESET
button - this sometimes after driving from home to the campus :-(.

I guess it would do a proper warm boot when I press CTRL-ALT-DEL from
DOS though I must confess, that I never veryfied it since that machine
never saw DOS. It once ran ESIX, then SCO and now FreeBSD-2.0-current.

Any insights welcome.
